New Sitcom Trials website
This is a bizarre post, in that I'm telling you all there's a new Sitcom Trials website, and you're reading it on the new Sitcom Trials website. I have, as you'll have worked out, made a new Blogger blog, and linked it to sitcomtrials.co.uk. Let me know if there are any shortcomings. Meanwhile, if you're nostalgic for the previous site, check it out here.
Ooh and a lovely new animated banner...
...which you can also see at the top of the page, I don't know why I bother.

Manchester Sitcom Trials result
Thanks and many congratulations to the fabulous cast of Friday night's Sitcom Trials in Manchester and to the audience, however small and perfectly formed that audience may have been.
And the winner, based on the audience vote, was....
The Mad Axe Man & Her by Debbie Rayner
Here's a video giving you a snapshot of the show:
The voting looked like this:
Tragic Life of Roger Bulwark - 4 votes
Mad Axe Man & Her - 5 votes
As Plain As Day - 0 votes
Leaping Tiger - 3 votes
Doing It For The Kids - 1 vote
As you can see, that's only a total of 13 votes, a result of a very disappointing and surprising turnout for this show. But the audience were small and perfectly formed and subsequent consultation with the rest of the team agreed with the audience's decision, making Debbie's script the clear winner. It will now be prepared for a full stage outing some time in the next season.
Thanks to all the writers who submitted work, and all the actors who took part. See you all next time.

PS (Sun am): I've just received an email about The Sitcom Trials which begins "I only stumbled across this from a brief remark on "The One Show" [BBC 1, Friday Oct 14] about the current competition, which I realise has already been closed for entries."
The One Show? Did the Sitcom Trials get mentioned on The One Show? By whom? I must know more!
